rear window leak?

hey as some of you know i recently stripped my cab in preparation for fixing rockers and floor pans.

the truck has been sitting for about 3 weeks since, and when i went in there today to move it i found that my seatbelts that were sitting on the bare floor were all mouldy!!

there was a small trail of water running down the back of the cab from the corner of the rear window.

the window is a sliding window.

i seem to recall someone mentioning something about a drain hole along the window rail, but i might be imagining things.....

can anybody back this up?

Re: rear window leak?

on the outside part of the rear slider should be a drain hole so that water can drain out the track.. maybe the gasket is leaking?

Re: rear window leak?

should there be a drain hole on only the driver side, or both sides?
